America Lyrics - Singles - Joshua Davis

"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together 

I've got some real estate here in my bag" 

So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies 

And walked off to look for America 

"Kathy," I said, as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh 

"Michigan seems like a dream to me now 

It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw 

I've come to look for America" 

Laughing on the bus 

Playing games with the faces 

She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy 

I said, "Be careful, his bow tie is really a camera" 

"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat" 

"We smoked the last one an hour ago" 

So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine 

And the moon rose over an open field
